"Radium Girls" Theatre Production

Catawba Theatre Arts presents Radium Girls by D.W. Gregory October 25-27 and 29 at 7:30pm and on October 30 at 2:30pm in Hedrick Little Theatre.

In 1926, radium was a miracle cure, Marie Curie an international celebrity, and luminous watch dials were the latest rage — until the girls who painted them began dying from a mysterious illness. Radium Girls offers a highly theatrical and unflinching look at the peculiarly American obsessions with health, wealth, and the commercialization of science.
